Studying this morning's four readings from the St. James Daily Devotional Guide (click to subscribe), I examined myself with these questions. Where is your self-examination leading today?
Psalms 30:1-12. Verses 5 and 11, when has God turned my weeping and mourning into joy and dancing? In what way do I need that from him right now?
Isaiah 16:1-14. God’s stern judgment on Moab, continued. How can America hope to escape the same?
II Thessalonians 3:6-18. Verse 10, thinking over my relationships and activities, is there any place where I am taking unfair advantage or failing to pull my weight? Action point for today?
Luke 18:24-34. Verse 27, what problem am I facing that seems humanly impossible to solve? What do I need from God today that would make a solution possible?
